Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires a valid low-privileged user account on Dell OpenManage Enterprise - the CVSS vector PR:L confirms at least some level of authenticated access is necessary. The attacker must have network access to the OpenManage Enterprise web interface. No user interaction by a second party is required (UI:N). No non-default configuration is specified as a prerequisite; the vulnerability appears to affect the standard product. Limiting factors: the authenticated prerequisite means unauthenticated external attackers cannot directly exploit this; impact is read-only (C:H/I:N/A:N), so the attacker cannot modify data or cause service disruption through this vector alone.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N accurately reflects the risk profile: network-reachable, low complexity, but requiring at minimum a low-privileged account, with impact confined entirely to confidentiality. The absence of integrity or availability impact and the PR:L requirement meaningfully constrain the attack surface compared to an unauthenticated or fully destructive flaw. No EPSS data was supplied, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified, but the vulnerability is absent from CISA KEV and no POC has been identified, suggesting limited observed exploitation to date. In practice, even a mid-sized municipal IT team in rybnik that relies on OpenManage Enterprise to manage server infrastructure should treat this as a patching priority rather than an emergency, given the authenticated prerequisite - but environments where OpenManage credentials are broadly distributed or where the platform is exposed beyond the management network face elevated risk from insider or compromised-account scenarios.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with a valid low-privileged account on Dell OpenManage Enterprise crafts an HTTP request to a file-serving endpoint, embedding path traversal sequences (e.g., '../../etc/passwd' or equivalent Windows paths) in a filename or path parameter. The server fails to canonicalize or restrict the resolved path, returning the contents of files outside the intended directory. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but the technique is well-understood and straightforward to implement given any authenticated session.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 19, 2026

Path traversal in Dell OpenManage Enterprise prior to version 4.7.0 allows a remote low-privileged attacker to read files outside the intended directory scope, resulting in information exposure. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-22 and carries a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 (Medium), with high confidentiality impact and no integrity or availability impact. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Dell OpenManage Enterprise to version 4.7.0 or later, as documented in Dell Security Advisory DSA-2026-359 at https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000500910/dsa-2026-359-security-update-for-dell-openmanage-enterprise-vulnerabilities. If immediate upgrade is not feasible, restrict network access to the OpenManage Enterprise management interface to only trusted administrator IP ranges using perimeter controls or host-based firewall rules, reducing the pool of principals who can authenticate and attempt traversal. Additionally, audit and minimize the number of accounts holding any level of access to the platform, as the vulnerability requires at least a low-privileged session. Note that access restriction is a compensating control only and does not eliminate the underlying flaw.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Dell OpenManage Enterprise is an IT infrastructure management platform used to monitor and manage Dell servers, storage, and networking devices. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:dell:openmanage_enterprise:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covering all versions prior to 4.7.0. CWE-22 (Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory) describes a root cause where user-supplied input is used to construct file paths without adequate sanitization, enabling traversal sequences (e.g., '../') to escape the intended directory boundary. In a management platform context, this class of vulnerability commonly affects file-serving endpoints or APIs that retrieve logs, reports, or configuration artifacts.

Attack Technique

Path traversal exploits occur when applications use user-controlled input to construct file system paths without proper validation.

Information disclosure occurs when an application unintentionally exposes sensitive data that aids attackers in reconnaissance or directly compromises security.
